George Fox University Sets Enrollment Records, Solidifying Its Position as Oregon’s Largest Private University for a Fifth Consecutive Year

Newberg, Ore. - For the first time in its history, George Fox University enrolled more than 4,300 students this fall, affirming its status as Oregon's largest private university for a fifth consecutive year.

As many small private universities struggle, George Fox set several all-time enrollment records. The Newberg-based university's total enrollment reached an all-time high of 4,327 students - an achievement that includes a record-breaking incoming class, bringing total undergraduate enrollment to a record 2,453.

The university continues to experience strong demand for programs across various disciplines, including nursing, engineering, business, art and design, and education. Notably, George Fox was one of the first universities to introduce accelerated online degree programs in 1986, and today the program remains robust, enrolling more than 300 students.

In recent years, the university has expanded its graduate offerings, particularly in the medical sciences. New doctor of physical therapy and physician assistant programs have driven growth, and this year George Fox welcomed its inaugural class of occupational therapy doctorate students, bringing total graduate enrollment to 1,566.

"Students and families seeking a holistic Christian education, exceptional professional outcomes, and a tight-knit community where students are known personally, academically, and spiritually find exactly that at George Fox," said George Fox University President Robin Baker, the longest-serving university president in Oregon and the Northwest Conference.

The strong number of returning students underscores the university's commitment to providing an outstanding first-year experience, a high-quality learning environment both inside and outside the classroom, and the fulfillment of its "Be Known" promise.

"We are proud to see George Fox's continued momentum in creating exceptional life outcomes for our students," said Lindsay Knox, vice president of enrollment and marketing. "We believe our world will be an even better place with more George Fox graduates leading the way."

George Fox University is ranked by U.S. News & World Reportas a "Best National University" and by Niche as the #1 Christian College in Oregon. The university offers more than 60 academic programs at the undergraduate level, degree-completion programs for working adults, and 20 masters and doctoral degrees.
